HUGHES Software Systems, specialising in software for telecom
companies, will be entering other areas, the first being development
of solutions and services for mobile handsets. A leading South
Korean phone maker and Thuraya satellite phones have commenced
using HSS technologies.
HSS developed solutions in the telecom technology areas of
3G, Spaceway and SIP. According to Mr. Arun Kumar, President
and Managing Director of HSS, the rapid expansion of mobile
technologies such as Wi-Fi and 3G has opened opportunities
within the telecom handsets that should be taken advantage
of by Indian companies who already have expertise in the embedded
software segment.
HSS would develop band-end solutions for network equipment
manufacturers, system integrators and telecom service providers
to build its capabilities in the handset market. Having succeeded
in their products business in the last few years, HSS will
raise the products business to approximately 20 per cent of
its revenues by 2004-05.
Spending 12 per cent of its revenues on research and development,
the company has filed for 23 patents and set up a Wireless
Centre for Excellence in Bangalore. The areas where it has
develoed solutions include user interface, applications, middleware,
protocol stacks; also communication applications in the GSM
and 3G areas on mobile platforms such as Windows CE, Linux
and Symbian.
